REVISION: 04/14/94
THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO REMOVE THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE CONDITION AND TO ADD THE NOTE IN THE CORRECTION. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
SOME OWNERS MAY COMMENT OF A BUZZING NOISE IN THE LOW END OF THE AM RADIO BAND WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.
THE SWITCHING OF THE FORCE MOTOR IN THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION EMITS AN RFI SIGNAL THROUGH THE PCM/TCM. THE AM BAND OF THE RADIO IS RECEIVING THIS INTERFERENCE THROUGH THE ANTENNA.
TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE OWNER'S COMMENTS, FIRST DUPLICATE THE CONDITION AND THEN DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AT THE TRANSMISSION (THIS WILL DISABLE THE FORCE MOTOR). IF THE CONDITION IMPROVES, INSTALL AN IN-LINE FILTER (P/N 1224205) TO THE IGNITION LEAD (CKT 439) OF THE PCM/TCM. SOME APPLICATIONS MAY HAVE TWO (439 CKT), IN WHICH CASE, A FILTER WILL BE REQUIRED FOR EACH LEAD.
